Umm, i'll have to take a closer look at these dependencies before i put
up the next revision.

There is a configure option to use GGZ, but i've not applied it. Do
you know right offhand what benefit libggz brings into the picture? If not,
i'll research this. Otherwise it wouldn't hurt to disable the check.

Hmmm. Something else to look into.

Evidently SDL-mixer is bringing this in. Is it okeh to leave as an
implicit dependency or should i declare this?

I do remember our previous discussion, and still have in mind to make
an SDL variant. After this package is stable w.r.t. the GTK client, i have in
mind to try my hand at making an application bundle before i get back to you.
Thanks for your help, by the way!
